2. Life under extreme scarcity
4. I enjoyed this sentence: "Lady, I know I'm in jeans and you're all throwing that scarf around over your suit, but two years of blogging has left me pretty confident that my thought is rigorous."

Lazily continuing to use the terminology of link one underlines an implicit desire to portray women as cattle.
Following the link all the way through we see a vague attempt at justification through the "anthropology" bone, something economists love to throw out when they know they're being offensive (but want to talk about a touchy subject).
Don't do it, you're way to intellectually rigorous in all other aspects.

One privilege of being male is that ladies very rarely throw their scarves all over their suits at one. But they do it often enough for me to know that those who do it are rigouros only in their ambitions. A honey of a sentence.

#4 is deeply ironic given the contents of her blog....

Two years of reading blogs has left me pretty confident that thoughts about what is rigorous may be not universal. (I sometimes throwabout a scarf.)

You have got to freaking be kidding me.

After all your good work to persuade people that not all libertarians are total loons, you go linking to stuff like #3?

Haha.. Hatcher owns a crazy feminist blog.
She's the one who gave us this gem: "Lazily continuing to use the terminology of link one underlines an implicit desire to portray women as cattle."

#3 was Megan Non-McArdle, who is a government regulator who spends a lot of her blog arguing against libertarians and in favour of regulation. (And does so rather well, at least in her area of expertise.)
You must not assume that everyone (anyone?) with the name Megan is a libertarian.
